Chapter 168: Uncovering Concubine Li's True Colors
Ji Yuntang didn't even ask Luo Sinian to sit down. She took a grape from the fruit plate, threw it into her mouth, chewed it, and spit out the skin.
"You are indeed blind. My prince said you were ignorant and protected you everywhere. But what about you? What have you done for him?"
"You have been in and out of the Night Palace countless times in the past three years, but you have never once doubted that such an icy stone bed is not habitable. Whenever you come, if you take a closer look, you will find out how the servants of the palace serve their masters."
"My prince didn't tell you because he didn't want you to worry, and he didn't want you to see the dirty tricks in the palace. He said that he was your hero and he always protected you as his younger brother. He didn't want to show his most embarrassing side in front of you, but you revealed it in public, making him lose face."
"Luo Sinian, ask yourself how good Luo Junhe has been to you over the years. When he was in good health, did he ever mistreat you? Did he ever let you get bullied?"
"Even if you are not satisfied with this princess, you really shouldn't hurt his feelings."
Ji Yuntang had an angry look on her face. After she vented all the resentment that had accumulated in her heart in one breath, she only had one feeling at this moment.
That is: cool!
Luo Sinian lowered his head slightly, and this time, he did not refute.
Because everything Ji Yuntang said was right.
It was his negligence that brought his third brother to this point. He would rather believe the evil Nanny Xu than the words of Ji Yuntang, the legitimate princess.
Luo Sinian felt guilty and could only say: "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong before, I just want to see my third brother now, I have heard all the rumors about my third brother, I am very worried about him, I just ask you to let me see him."
Finally, he added, "As long as you let me see him, I can agree to any condition you ask."
Ji Yuntang pondered in her heart. She knew that Luo Sinian's concern was not fake. He really cared about Luo Junhe.
As for Luo Junhe, he had never been angry with him and had forgiven him a long time ago. He actually missed Luo Sinian very much.
It was only because of the bad relationship between Ji Yuntang and Luo Sinian that Luo Junhe had not summoned him, for fear that Luo Sinian would say something outrageous and anger Ji Yuntang.
Although Luo Junhe had never talked about these things in front of her, how could Ji Yuntang not understand?
She sighed and said, "You go in."
Luo Sinian was delighted. He walked forward a few steps and found that Ji Yuntang did not follow him. Instead, he was sitting in the yard playing with a little black dog.
He gave Ji Yuntang a grateful look.
He knew that the other party wanted to give him and Luo Junhe a space to talk alone.
After Luo Sinian entered, his reaction was the same as Luo Qingge and Xie Liuzheng. He was stunned when he saw Luo Junhe for the first time, and his mouth was opened so wide that he could swallow an egg.
He was so shocked that his voice became incoherent.
“Brother Sansansansansan…is your face…okay?”
Luo Junhe was not surprised at all when he saw him, and a familiar smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Well, my eyes have recovered too."
He heard every word Ji Yuntang and Luo Sinian said outside just now.
He felt warm about Ji Yuntang's protection.
But he was also relieved that Luo Sinian took the initiative to admit his mistake.
The fact that the stubborn Prince Chen could be made to admit his mistake on his own initiative shows that his little princess is truly extraordinary.
After Luo Sinian was shocked, he felt incredible.
He knew very well how serious Luo Junhe's illness was. No matter which imperial physician came, it would be impossible to cure him in such a short time.
But looking at the condition he is in now, how can he still look as seriously ill as before?
He felt that it might not take long for the other party to be able to stand up and live like a normal person.
Luo Sinian suddenly thought of the rumors outside that Luo Junhe was dying, and he couldn't help but frowned.
He didn't think that Doctor Zhu had the courage to lie to Emperor Jingyang. That was a serious crime of deceiving the emperor and he might even be beheaded.
The only possibility is that when Doctor Zhu came to the Night Palace for a consultation, Luo Junhe looked very ill indeed, and he couldn't even take his pulse.
Luo Sinian couldn't help but ask: "Third brother, why did Doctor Zhu tell father that you were terminally ill?"
Luo Junhe's eyes flashed with sarcasm, "Can you believe what he says?"
"That was just something your third sister-in-law and I put on purpose for him to see."
At this point, Luo Junhe paused for a long time before he said in a calm voice: "Doctor Zhu came to the Night Palace this time to take my life. He must have received instructions from his superiors."
"However, he didn't know that I could see everything. His every move was under my watch. Fortunately, I and your Third Sister-in-law reacted quickly and prevented him from succeeding."
"The people above?" Luo Sinian was a little confused. There were only a handful of people who could be above the Night King.
Apart from Crown Prince Luo Jingshen, there are only those in the palace.
The queen can basically be excluded and she rarely gets involved in matters related to state affairs.
Apart from this, there is only Emperor Jingyang.
"Third brother, are you saying that Doctor Zhu was ordered by our father to kill you? But you are his biological son and have done great service for him. Why would he do this?"
Luo Sinian simply couldn't understand why Emperor Jingyang would want to harm Luo Junhe. Shouldn't he be proud to have such an outstanding son?
Luo Junhe looked at him meaningfully and said calmly: "It may not be my father, it could also be my mother."
He knew that what he said might shatter Luo Sinian's three views.
After all, in Luo Sinian's opinion, blood-related relatives are the best, and they have absolutely no reason to harm their own son.
Furthermore, the impression Concubine Li had left on him over the years was too good, so good that he couldn't believe that someone who appeared so gentle on the surface could actually be such a vicious and cruel person behind the scenes.
Luo Junhe saw Luo Sinian's unbelievable look and he sighed softly.
"Eighth brother, I know you may not believe it, but this is the truth. In the three years that I have been paralyzed in bed, have you ever seen my mother come to visit me in person? Have you ever seen her send someone to bring me some tonic soup or medicine?"
"Even the Queen knows to have someone send me some nourishing herbs every month, but my mother has never done so once. The ice stone bed she sent to the Night Prince's Mansion and the ice cubes she used to bathe me every day are all harmful to my health. Do you really think she cares about my health?"
